January 7,2003 Page 7 LAND USE AND PUBLIC HEARINGS Resolution No. 6101 - General Plan Amendment No. 75 - Trails - Consideration was continued from December 3, 2002, for a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration as well a public hearing for an amendment to the General Plan Trails Map to: (a) add 25 new multi-use off-road trails throughout the San Timoteo Canyon and Live Oak Canyon areas; (b) add a new multi-use on-road and off-road trail located south of the Redlands Municipal Airport between Judson Street and Wabash Avenue; (c) add a new multi-use on-road trail along San Timoteo Canyon Road from the San Timoteo Creek crossing to Alessandro Road; (d) relocate a segment of the East Valley Corridor Multi-Purpose Trail from the Southern California Edison easement to the east side of Mountain View Avenue between the Mission Zanja Creek and San Bernardino Avenue; and (e) relocate a segment of the East Valley Corridor Bikeway from Palmetto Avenue/Domestic Avenue to Pioneer Avenue between California Street and Texas Street. Community Development Director Shaw reported there were two central issues raised during the public hearing in opposition of the amendment that prompted the City Council to delay a decision. The issues pertained to the number of new trails proposed in the San Timoteo and Live Oak Canyon areas and their connectivity to regional trails. Mayor Haws and Councilmember George volunteered to walk the proposed trails and bring back a report to the City Council. In the interim, staff received a letter from Dan G. McKinney, an attorney with Reid & Hellyer who is representing unnamed property owners affected by the general plan amendment. The letter objected to the amendment and cited a number of issues that fall into three categories: the environmental review prepared for the general plan amendment is not sufficient and violates the California Environmental Quality Act; the general plan amendment is inconsistent with other portions of the City's General Plan; and the general plan amendment would cause a taking of private property. Community Development Director Shaw reviewed his staff reported addressing these issues. Councilmember George noted most of the trails are sited on ridge lines on undevelopable land and that he did have a better appreciation of what is out in. the canyons following his excursion with Mayor Haws. He said our trails are an unusual resource and that it was a luxury to have such an extensive trail system. Mayor Haws reported he had also met with a number of landowners and listened to their concerns. He pointed out the substantive law regarding property rights, the practical implications, and the need to continue to process this proposal. Mayor Haws declared the meeting open as a public hearing for further comments. The audience was standing-room-only and also filled the lobbies and spilled outside of the building. Speaking in favor of General Plan Amendment No. 75 were: Trails Committee Chairman Mike Kelley, Gary Strickland represent San Timoteo Canyonlands, Susan Gilchrist representing Riverside County Trails Committee, Peg Clark, and Caroline D. Laymon. January 7,2003 Page 8 Property owners opposing General Plan Amendment No. 75 addressed the City Council as follows: Mike Suman, Dr. Rick Nichols, Manuel Cortez, Mimi Dupper, Larry Curti, Leroy Hansberger, Patricia Hicks, Ed Krick, and Terrance Emershy. Jesus Nolasco, Light of the World Church, presented a petition purported to contain 1,423 signatures of parishioners opposing General Plan. Amendment No. 75. Also speaking from the congregation on behalf of a large number of people present in opposition were: David Urena, Nicholas Ynda, Annie Stadler, Sharon Stadler, Rachel Stadler, and Eleazar Madrid. Attorney Dan G. McKinney addressed the City Council as legal representative of several property owners opposed to General Plan Amendment No. 75. Letters supporting General Plan Amendment No. 75 were received from residents in San Timoteo Canyon Joshua and Danielle Smith, Lewis and Ruth Gray, Jerry and Holly Hall, John and Diane Carrillo, and Kenneth and Georgia Parker. Letters opposing General Plan Amendment No. 75 were received from Gil Zukow, Dr. Neil Wilensky, Marvin Levine, Eileen S. Neprud, Ed Cooper, Terrance and Cynthia Emershy, Leroy Hansberger of Liveoak Investments, Beverly Atherton, Frank V. Bianchini, Gilbert and Mimi Dupper, Edwin and Beverly Krick, Gayle and Gail Wickerd, Ingrid Wang, Lower Yucaipa Water Company, Jesus Nolasco, Don Cachat, Dr. Dale Sparks, Michael C. Suman, Noilie S. Howard, Mary S. Agle, Louis Curti, Dan J. Harkey, Larry Curti, and Art Gregory. The public hearing was closed at 9:03 P.M. Councilmember Harrison asked the City Attorney about the liability issue and expressed appreciation for the citizen input from both public hearings. Councilmember George asked the City Attorney to address the CEQA and General Plan inconsistencies accusations. Councilmember Gilbreath was not ready to move forward and suggested formation of an ad hoc committee to develop standards. Councilmember Peppler felt we needed to look at the quality of life for everyone and supported the idea of forming an ad hoc committee. Mayor Haws also expressed his appreciation for the public's participation and thanked the Trails Committee for their efforts and suggested the formation of a committee to address the following issues: identify undisputed trails, identify disputed trails, discuss if a general plan amendment is needed or a general policy statement, hold a general discussion regarding rural standards, and develop trail standards. Mayor Haws moved to create a sub- committee to discuss this issue further and stated that he and Mayor Pro Tem Peppler would serve as co-chairmen at the first meeting; that Trails Committee Chairman Mike Kelly and one or two people from the Trails Committee would serve on the committee; that all landowners who have filled out speaker forms or submitted letters would be notified of the first meeting and invited to participate; that a representative from staff assist the map; that the agenda include the issues he identified earlier; and that the committee report back to the City Council. Motion seconded by Councilmember Harrison and carried with Councilmember George voting NO as he wanted the guarantee the issue would be a general plan amendment. January 7,2003 Page 9 The City Council meeting recessed at 9:41 P.M. and reconvened at 10:53 P.M. Appeal - San Timoteo Canyon Flood Control Project - On December 10, 2002, the Redlands' Planning Commission found that Alternative B of the proposed flood control project in San Timoteo Creek, as redesigned, is consistent with the land use designation prescribed for this area, which is Flood Control/Construction Aggregates Conservation/Habitat Preservation and Linear Park, and the City's General Plan polices as they pertain to the design and development of this flood control project proposed for Reach B of the San Timoteo Creek. An appeal to this decision was filed by Sally Beck, Coalition to Save San Timoteo Creek. Community Development Director Shaw reported the Planning Commission reviewed construction plans and documentation for this project on :December 10, 2002. The intent of the project, which both the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and the Army Corps of Engineers have been working on for approximately 10 years, is to provide 100-year flood protection to this portion of Redlands and downstream community and other unincorporated areas. Over the years, the City of Redlands has reviewed and commented on the San Timoteo Creek Flood Control Project. Excerpts of City Councils discussion and actions regarding this subject going back to September 7, 1993, were included with the staff report. Staff conducted an in- depth analysis of the proposed flood control project as it related to the City's General Plan policies. The result of this analysis found that Reach 3B (Alternative B) as redesigned is consistent with the land use designation for this area and the City's General Plan policies as they pertain to drainage for this portion of San Timoteo Creek. In addition, Alternative B reflects the alternative which received favorable preference and acceptance given by the City Council on April 3, 2001. Ken A. Miller, San Bernardino County Flood Control District, presented a PowerPoint overview of the entire project. Ruth Villalobos, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers also addressed the City Council stating their support of the project which was developed through a very open and public forum. Representing the San Timoteo Canyonlands Coalition, Gary Strickland shared a PowerPoint presentation expressing concerns about the cottonwood forest, the rigid, artificial low flow channel, the trail which is only a maintenance road, and the wildlife corridor that is only 20 feet wide. Bill Cunningham, The Redlands Association, addressed the City Council at length reviewing the history and urged the City Council to look at available alternatives that are more sensitive and more consistent with the Redlands General Plan. Jerry Biggs felt the Army Corps of Engineers could retain the canyon in a more natural state than proposed in the current plans and that the project does not meet the standard set by Measure U for San Timoteo Canyon and urged the determination by the Planning Commission be overturned. Floyd Peterson, Mayor of the City of Loma Linda, asked for our assistance to protect neighbors downstream. Councilmember Peppler moved to adopt the action of the Planning Commission to determine that the San Timoteo Creek flood control project proposed for Reach B is consistent with the City of Redlands January 7,2003 Page 10 General Plan and to deny the appeal. Motion seconded by Councilmember Haws and carried unanimously. January 7,2003 Page 11 PUBLIC HEARINGS Ordinance No. 2503 - CUPs and Variances - Public hearing was advertised for this time and place to consider Ordinance No. 2503, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 18.192 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to conditional use permits and Chapter 18.196 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to variances. Community Development Director Shaw explained this ordinance will allow the Planning Commission to take final action on conditional use permits and variances not associated with a legislative action for which the City Council would take final action. If this ordinance is approved by the City Council, the approval process will be shortened and streamlined for applicants. Mayor Haws declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any questions or comments. None being forthcoming, the public hearing was declared closed. Ordinance No. 2503 was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember George, seconded by Councilmember Harrison, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance No. 2503 was introduced with unanimous Council approval and laid over under the rules with adoption scheduled for January 21, 2003. Ordinance No. 2525 - Resolution No. 6105 - Specific Plan No. 40 - Public hearing was advertised for this time and place to consider Ordinance No. 2525, an ordinance of the City of Redlands repealing Ordinances Nos. 2295, 2320, 2321, 2322, 2364, 2432, 2444, 2473, 2479, 2486, 2488, 2496, 2500, and 2508 relating to the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 40), and Resolution. No. 6105, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redlands adopting the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 40). Community Development Director Shaw explained these actions are being recommended by the City Attorney to provide for a more efficient process in amending Specific Plan No. 40 in the future. This amendment does not modify any of the current regulatory provisions of the specific plan. Mayor Haws declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any questions or comments. None being forthcoming, the public hearing was declared closed.

Councilmember Haws moved to adopt Resolution No. 6105. Motion seconded by Councilmember Peppler and carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Ordinance No. 2532 - Mobilehome Rent Control - Police Chief Bueermann explained the existing mobilehome rent control ordinance requires a City Council-appointed Mobilehome Rent Review Board to review annual formula rent increase for mobilehome parks. Because staff verifies the Consumer Price January 7,2003 Page 12 Index, as well as all mathematical calculations for proposed formula rent increases, Board meetings typically last minutes. During the past year, it has been difficult to obtain a quorum to take action and park owners have had to wait months to implement allowable increases. Ordinance No. 2532 is presented by staff to increase efficiency and allow for more expeditious processing of requested formula rent increase. It will allow staff to review and approve standard formula rent increases and provides for the consolidation of the Mobilehome Rent Review Board and Housing Commission. The Mobilehome Rent Review Board and the Housing Commission have concurred with these recommendations. Ordinance No. 2532, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 5.48 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to Mobilehome Rent Control, was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember Haws, seconded by Councilmember Peppler, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance No. 2532 was introduced with unanimous Council approval and laid over under the rules with adoption scheduled for January 21, 2003. PUBLIC COMMENTS None forthcoming. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the City Council meeting adjourned at 1.1:36 P.M. The next regular meeting will be held on January 21, 2003.
